Bass lacks texture, but a fairly holographic, "grand" presentation that is unique for a V-shaped response.

Muscular bass with large bass notes. Male vocal timbre slightly odd, female vocals are nice. Some vocal grain present. Decent overall techs. Cons: Buy the non-Ti version for $1k less.

Campfire Audio Clara Ti is the Titanium Launch Edition of Clara—limited to 50 units—with a 3D-printed titanium shell and an included 8-wire 4.4 mm cable; it retains the same sonic profile as the standard Clara co-designed with Alessandro Cortini. At an MSRP of $2,999 for the Ti edition (vs. $1,999 for the base model), it sits firmly in the top-of-the-line price tier.

The driver array is 1DD+3BA: a dual-magnet dynamic for lows, a dual-diaphragm BA for mids, and two BA super-tweeters, yielding a neutral-with-bass-boost presentation intended to be smooth rather than sharp. Independent reviews characterize the tuning as warmly balanced with impactful but controlled sub-bass and clear upper-mids/treble that avoid fatigue.

On performance, Clara Ti delivers punchy dynamics, strong detail retrieval, and stable imaging; stage size reads more precise than panoramic, but placement is clean and coherent. Given its price, the value proposition hinges on whether one prioritizes a refined, bass-supported neutral tonality and premium titanium build over sheer soundstage breadth or budget efficiency.

Best IEM I've heard to date for my preference (neutral warm)

Tuning: S Tech: S- Bass: S Mids: S Treble: A+ Soundstage: A+ Imaging: S-
Pros
Remarkably natural tonality. Only IEM I've heard that's able to match the texture of my open-back planars whilst having a hefty elevation. Mids that seem to match my HRTF perfectly, coming across so vivid and lifelike.
Cons
Treble is smooth and solid but not the most natural I've heard.
